  "account": "The article raises questions about the silence of Islamic reformist NGOs in Malaysia regarding the growing influence of conservative and extremist Islamic narratives. Despite their progressive and moderate values, these NGOs have remained quiet for the past 15 years. The author explains that reformist values are rooted in the era of the prophet Muhammad's generation, emphasizing human dignity and the progressive interpretation of Islam that adapts to contemporary scientific, economic, political, and cultural needs. The author also identifies progressivism as a tolerance and acceptance of diverse lifestyles in a diverse multicultural society. Moderate values include empathy and acceptance of differences in a globalized world. The author believes that such NGOs should be supported, even though they have not personally been involved.",
  "summary": "NGO Islam reformis perlu lebih lantang mencabar retorik agama yang boleh menjejaskan keharmonian masyarakat majmuk.",
